Article Help

[DaHoffermn]

What I'd like to do is create a page listing the most recent articles by article_ID primary key. That's easy. My proble is that I'd like to display them in order with different styles and layouts.

The first (and most recent) article has the largest headling, as well as picture.

The second (and second most recent) article has a smaller headline.

The third-sixth articles would be in a 2x2 setup as capsules, with small link headlines and no picture allowed.

I can't begin to think how I need to code this.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Are you using a template system ? Smarty's got some excelent opportunities for this kind of thing.

Anyway something like this. Use it unless any other suggestions appear... My brain's standing still today .. 🙁

$i = 0;
foreach ($article as $key => $val)
{
	$i++;
	if ($i <= 10)
	{
		echo "<div class=\"newest_articles\"> <b>". $val['title'] ."</b> <br /> ". $val['text'] ."</div>";
	}
	else if ($i <= 20)
	{
		echo "<div class=\"not_so_new_articles\"> <b>". $val['title'] ."</b> <br /> ". $val['text'] ."</div>";
	}
	else
	{
		echo "<div class=\"oooooold_articles\"> <b>". $val['title'] ."</b> <br /> ". $val['text'] ."</div>";
	}
}
